Chapter 19 Don’t Touch Me
1 creased his brows. “Which girl?” I asked, pretending not to understand.
Ben sighed. The girl you screwed. I know it wasn’t Wendy. Who was she?”

All his life, apart from Wendy, he had never seen me close to any woman. I understood why he was surprised that I could
screw someone else
I scowled at him. “Don’t you have some work to do? Stop being a busybody,” I said. It was not like I had to talk to him about
this.
“But I misspoke, Ben said. “There is a problem you need to handle.
I was silent for a second. “I heard you. Why did you run your mouth without asking?”
Ben shut his eyes. “You just said you did it. You didn’t say with who. I assumed it was her,” he explained.
I was silent again. I knew that there was going to be a problem that I needed to handle.
I knew Wendy. Even though I had told her plenty of times that there could never be anything between her and me, she still carried herself to outsiders as my girlfriend.
I didn’t like it, but I didn’t bother with it in the past because I thought it didn’t matter. But now there was Kelly. I didn’t want her to think that I was a two–timing man
Ben scratched his head. “Um, Wendy was lost for a while. That’s how I knew it wasn’t her. But she got into the act so fast. She made the old man believe that it was her,” he said. “That girl is an actress”
I pursed his lips. “I don’t understand why would she want the old man to think that.” I said, my voice turning a little cold.
Ben just shrugged, “How would I know? Hasn’t the old man been pushing you to marry her?” He asked.
I rolled my eyes. “I don’t want to marry her,” I said. After all, Ben and I were friends. We could talk about anything.
“What?” Ben was shocked. “We all always thought that you two would end up together. So, do you love this new girl? Wait..Ə when can I meet her?”
I humped. “Why don’t you find someone yourself first? Stop poking your nose into my business,” I said, refusing to talk about Kelly.
Ben felt a little offended. “You didn’t have to be so mean,” he said. “Anyway, I won’t do anything. I know Wendy will be there soon and you won’t like it.”
I pursed my lips. I hadn’t thought about it. “Sht!” I cursed. “Next time, be careful when running your mouth.”
Ben brushed him off. “All I care about is that the old man is super happy. I might get a very good bonus.”
-Go
10 hell: Smooching over old men now?” I asked.
“As long as they are wealthy, it doesn’t matter,” he said.
A client came in. And since I didn’t have any reason to stay, I decided to leave.
“Just go to hell,” I said and walked away.
I didn’t go back home until late in the evening.
And when I got home, I went to the kitchen. But I realized that nothing had been touched. I pursed my lips.
I walked upstairs and straight into Kelly’s room. She was standing by the window, looking outside. She didn’t even bother turning to look at him.
Her packed bag was lying on the floor. I sighed. “So you wanted to leave?” I asked.

I thought that she had said that only because she was mad at me.

Kelly’s POV
I stayed in my room the whole day since I couldn’t leave the house. But I was very angry. How could someone be so heartless?
When Tony came back. I didn’t even want to look at him. When he talked to me. I slowly turned to look at him. He was no longer angry.
I ignored him and got to bed. I didn’t care about anything he said.
“You didn’t eat anything the whole day,” he spoke up again, as if not concerned with the fact that I hadn’t talked to him.
1 felt annoyed. “Why do you even care? I just want to leave,” I said, and I realized that tears were welling in my eyes too.
“If you leave, they’ll get you,” he said and sat on the bed next to me.
I immediately moved to the wall. I didn’t like that he pretended to care. There was no difference between him and Cliff.
“Does it matter?” I asked him. “The worst he will do is lock me in and never let me out. Isn’t it what you are doing?”
Tony fell silent for a while. I don’t want to do this to you” he said and sighed deeply.
“Then let me go!” I almost shouted “We barely know each other. We can pretend we never met!”
“No!” He shook his head. “Your dad wanted me to look after you when he gave you my number. I’ll do axactly that.”
“Oh” I raised my brows at him. “So you now believe that I’m his daughter?”
“I don’t know,” he replied.
It felt useless arguing with him. “I’m not his daughter. Maya is I was just pretending. So. can you let me go?” I asked.
Tony seemed shocked by my words. He looked at me for a while, searching for something. I didn’t know what it was
Then, he slowly shook his head. “No!” He said. “I won’t let you go. Not after what happened last night.”
“What?” I opened my eyes wide. Was he willing to talk about it now?
“When you threw yourself at me, you became mine. You have to take responsibility for your actions,” he stated calmly.
I took deep breaths and shut my eyes to calm myself down. “What are you talking about?”
He held my chin and turned me to look at him. “You awakened the sleeping beast inside me. So you have to be here to take care of it
“What? You are an animal: I’m not doing anything with you ever again!” I shouted.
What did he take me for? I was drunk! I didn’t want to get to his bed. Did he think that he could get to my bed any time he wanted now?
“Do you want me to give it a try now!” He suddenly asked and leaned closer to me. “That will help with your anger.”
“What? Don’t touch me I said and tried to push him away.
But he held tightly onto my chin and pressed his lips against mine. He began kissing me.
